Bloggers for Dollars

I don't mind admitting that this blog is totally different from the site I envisioned when I bought this domain. I wasn't even going to put a blog here in the beginning but one thing led to another and the next thing I knew, I'm blogging up a storm (well, intermittently) and even getting paid for it once in awhile.

Sometimes I go through dry spells as far as content is concerned and I'm always on the lookout for help or ideas in that area. I think I've found a great content source with The News Room. Now I wouldn't want my blog to consist entirely of videos but I think a video once in a while that is relevant to the theme or focus of a blog is a good thing. It is nice to change things up every so often.

TheNewsRoom provides access to hundreds of thousands of videos that can be "mashed" or embedded into your post. At first I thought "what? mashed?" It sounded like vernacular from the deep south. (yeah, like where I'm from, hehe). But after reading a little farther I see why they coined that term. TheNewsRoom is great way to monetize a website or blog. You can "mash for cash" by embedding videos into your content and get paid for doing it.

Every time mashed news is viewed on your site you earn a share of the advertising revenue with TheNewsRoom's viral payment plan. But that isn't the only thing you can get paid for. If someone sees news on your site and decides to mash it from your site to theirs you also earn money that way.

But wait there's more. By participating in TheNewsRoom's loyalty program registrants can earn prizes such as digital cameras or a new car. Yep, registrants have an opportunity to earn a new car. Wow.

All in all, The News Room seems like a great place to find quality content and get paid for using it. And if you think you have to have uber technical skills then think again. Embedding the video into this post was quick and easy. All you have to do is register, select a video, press "Mash" and copy the code. It doesn't get much easier than that.
